Pay Increase Suggested

An outgoing commissioner with Koochiching County feels the Board may want to consider increasing the pay now given to elected officials in the future.

Commissioners gave approved to keeping salaries of just under $14-thousand with a $ 125-dollar to each meeting they attend - figures that haven't changed in some time..

Mike Hanson says while most don't do it for the money, he believes it has been a deterrent to some thinking about running in the past.
